Global Health

IU School of Medicine’s Global Health partnerships develop and disseminate relevant and timely information on health and health care systems for use by decision-makers and care providers at a global level. For example, the school’s leadership in the IeDEA consortium, which analyzes data from more than one million patients with HIV worldwide, has led to key partnerships with UNAIDS and WHO to impact how these influential organizations model HIV estimates and patient outcomes.

Also, through leadership within the Indiana University Center for Global Health, IU School of Medicine is developing mutually beneficial partnerships across disciplines, schools and countries to reduce health disparities, solve complex health problems, and train the next generation of global health leaders.

Through strong collaborative partnerships in global health, IU School of Medicine medical students, residents, fellows and faculty have opportunities to learn from and teach international counterparts to advance the discovery and treatment of chronic and communicable diseases in resource-constrained areas of the world. Participating in global health experiences help better prepare trainees and practicing physicians to care for patients at home and abroad. Programs are offered around the world with a wide range of populations and subspecialties.
